exim and faxmail
Hi folks
I would like to know if someone knows how to change the file below so that
it run in exim mail server ( www.exim.org), I don't have any idea. I want to
setup faxmail.
thanks in advanced

--------------------------------------
#! /bin/sh
#
# mailfax - email to fax gateway for sendmail
#
# This file should be installed as /usr/local/lib/fax/mailfax
# (or whatever is specified in the sendmail.cf file).
#
# Edit your sendmail configuration. Include the following
# mailer definition (or similar):
#
# Mfax, P=/usr/local/lib/fax/mailfax, F=DFMShu, M=100000,
# A=mailfax $u $h $f
#
# add the following address rewriting rule to rule set 0:
#
# # forward FAX messages to HylaFAX software
# R$+<@$+.FAX> $#fax $@ $2 $: $1 user@host.FAX
#
# and arrange things so that rule set 3 will not attempt a host map lookup
# on FAX addresses. If you are using the .cf file generated by the
# m4 macros as your starting point (as implemented in sendmail 8.8.8),
# this can be done by adding these lines:
#
# # Make FAX a pseudo domain, to avoid failed DNS lookups
# CPFAX
#
# Things to note:
#
# 1. The above mailer definition includes the S flag which causes
# sendmail to invoke this script with the UID of the sender when
# mail is local. This causes the submitted facsimile job to be
# owned by the sender which means they can remove it, alter its
# parameters, etc. Mail received from another system will be
# owned by the user who's UID is specified in the sendmail config
# file as the default UID to use for doing delivery. Typically
# this is daemon or similar. Whatever user it is, they must be
# permitted to submit facsimile jobs w/o a password from the host
# where this script is run.
# 2. The default setup below disables automatic cover page generation.
# If you enable it, faxmail will extract the name of the receipient
# from the To: header. This is preferable to passing in the "user"
# information in the mail address (readily available from sendmail)
# since ``more friendly'' information may be available in the To:
# line in the form of a comment; e.g. To: joe@15551212.fax (Joe Schmo)
# would result in ``Joe Schmo'' being displayed on the cover page.
# 3. If automatic cover page generation is to be used it is probably
# a good idea to create a special-purpose cover page template for
# facsimile generated though this gateway. By default faxmail will
# use the default system cover page template. An X-FAX-Cover-Template
# header line may also be inserted to select a cover page template file.
# 4. Enabling a gateway facility with the scheme described here permits
# anyone to submit a facsimile if non-local submissions are accepted.
# Read the faxmail(1) manual page for some comments on extending
# the software to safely restrict off-machine submissions.
# 5. The most effective use of this software involves inserting special
# headers that indicate how faxmail and the rest of the HylaFAX
# software should process the submitted facsimile. Consult the
# faxmail documentation for details.
